Cyprus Papers Highlight Holguin’s Message: No 5+1 Talks Without Progress

A recent interview by UN Secretary‑General’s Personal Envoy for Cyprus Maria Angela Holguín has drawn wide attention in the Greek Cypriot press, after she told Turkey’s ANKA news agency that conditions are not yet in place for a new 5+1 conference on the Cyprus issue.

Alithia reported on the interview under the headline “Forget the 5+1 Conference – Holguín Clarified the Situation and Shifted Responsibility to the Leaders,” emphasizing her view that the prerequisites for convening such a meeting have not been met.

Other newspapers echoed the same message.

Fileleftheros led with “Holguín: We Cannot Go to 5+1 Without Progress,” while Haravgi wrote that “The Necessary Conditions for an Expanded Conference on the Cyprus Problem Have Not Yet Been Created.”
